Hi everyone! The University of Buffalo has some programs I'm really interested in. I know acceptance rates don't tell the whole story, but it would be really helpful if I could get a sense of how competitive it is. Does anyone happen to know UB's acceptance rate?
The University of Buffalo has an acceptance rate of approximately 68%, meaning they accept a little over half of those who apply. Remember, though, acceptance rates are only one part of the picture - the average admitted student profile can give you a sense of who is typically accepted.
At the University of Buffalo, the middle 50% SAT range is between 1190 to 1380 and the ACT range is between 25 to 32. The average high school GPA of admitted students tends to be 3.8 (on a 4 point scale).
If your stats fit into these ranges, then you could be considered competitive for admission to UB. But remember, these are just averages - there are always students who get in with scores below these ranges, and students who don't get in with higher scores. It's always necessary to present a well-rounded application, which includes strong essays, recommendation letters, and extracurricular activities.
I hope this information helps! Definitely do a little more research and reach out to the admissions office if you have specific questions. Best of luck with your application process!
